Parental Accountability Laws
Also called Parental Duty Laws, a number of states have experimented with subjecting the parents of children to arrest. Florida, for example, imposes a 5-year sentence on parents of children who find and use guns left around the house. California prosecutes mothers if it can be proven that parental neglect led to their child becoming a gang member. Most of the teeth in these laws have been removed with the provision of parenting classes as a way out for parents.
Curfews
Many cities, like Atlanta and New Orleans, require anyone under the age of 17 to be off the streets by 11 P.M. Any teenager found in a public place during curfew hours is held at a police-designated truancy center until a parent or guardian claims them. Parents who are determined to be aiding and abetting curfew violators are subject to fines and community service.
